Psycho ! because of my love of psychobilly music and horror films , also my willingness to try the craziest shit (got lots of Xrays as testament to my insanity) didn't exactly help.
Mainly it's because of a stunt I pulled years ago ,
I sleep naked (always have always will), my wife at the time and I were in bed and we had friends children sleeping over with my wifes two kids.
I needed to go to the toilet and since I couldn't go wandering the corridors naked I decided since my dressing gown was in the cupboard at the top of the stairs I would wear my wifes instead, as soon as I put it on my missus said "get that thing off" , "why"? said I. "You remind me of Norman Bates when you put that on" was her reply. Now this is where my (sick ?) sense of humor got the better of me.
I took off the dressing gown and grabbed a towel instead (dropping the gown near to the door) , as I left the room I dragged her dressing gown with my foot so she couldn't see. Headed downstairs grabbed the biggest knife out of the kitchen , put on the dressing gown again and crept back up the stairs. Quick stop off at the toilet and then, let the gag begin. Raising the knife I opened the door to our bedroom and entered , uttering these immortal words "You've been playing with those dirty girls again haven't you Norman" I moved towards the bed . My wifes reaction seemed a little over the top at the time , looking back I sort of realise it wasn't , she screamed blue murder and I thought she would wake my mother (my mother lived 11 miles away) obviously the tale was then told to all and sundry and so I ended up being called Psycho or worse still Norman Bates.
It's actualy not too bad as nicknames go I suppose.
